Just came across a sobering report by the Children's Commissioner for England on the state of advocacy services for children and young people. The findings reaffirm the critical need for improvement in accessibility, quality, and independence of these vital services across the UK. Every child and young person deserves to have their thoughts, wishes, and feelings taken seriously, especially when decisions about their care and lives are at stake. Despite the inherent value of advocacy, barriers persist, hindering the full realization of these rights. It's time for a collective call to action to break down these barriers and ensure that the voices of our future generations are not only heard but actively listened to. Advocacy isn't just a service; it's a lifeline for many, providing the support needed for a brighter and more equitable future. https://lnkd.in/ePingQHc #ChildAdvocacy #YouthEmpowerment #ChildrensRights #AdvocateForChange

The five primary pillars of the United Nations Youth Strategy—partnerships, data, resources, advocacy, and engagement—was launched to assist empower youths globally when it was implemented, from 2018 to 2021. It prioritized youth involvement in meaningful decision-making processes, leveraged data to promote evidence-based policies, empowered kids through advocacy, helped form alliances with a variety of stakeholders, and mobilized resources to address the needs of young people. By focusing on these areas, the strategy made the most of young people's ability to be positive change agents, encouraged sustainable development, and created a society for more inclusiveness and justice. Interestingly, the impact of the United Nations youth strategy is still felt to this day, and still strengthens the youths to take active decisions in government policies that affect them. #unitednations #youth #strategy #partnerships #globalpoliticsaffairs #advocacy
